Village of Godfrey Economic Director Jim Mager echoed McCormick's praise of the Public Works personnel for their efforts combatting terrible weather conditions outside. Mager stressed that Godfrey has a lot of rural terrain and it encompasses many miles. Chris Sichra, Godfrey's Public Safety Administrator, has also been very involved in the Godfrey road and safety efforts over the weekend.

Despite the challenges, Lewis and his team have been committed to their work.

It is estimated another 3 to 5 inches of snow is to come and Mayor McCormick said the Godfrey team will be out into the morning clearing areas.
